Chapter 588: A Lose-Lose Fight
"Father, be careful!"
Lu Xun hugged the fence tightly before the naval warships of the two sides collided, and at the same time shouted urgently.
But where did Lu Yao need him to remind, he found a fixed object early and hugged it tightly, always ready for the upcoming collision.
The sound of clicks echoed.
The hundreds of warships of the Xanadu Navy Division lined up in a line and collided head-on with the Soochow warship that fell into the sea of fire. Driven by the river wind and the river water, the speed was so fast that all the warships were overwhelmed, and the hulls of the ships were cracked to varying degrees.
The action of force is reciprocal.
However, one party takes the initiative to exert force, and the other party passively bears it, and the damage suffered is indeed different.
The Soochow warship was downwind and could not sail, so it could only be adjusted or increased slightly with giant oars. And the Xanadu Sailor warship borrowed the wind and the river to go downstream, full of momentum, and the damage was light.
Hundreds of warships collided head-on with the Soochow warship, and under various favorable factors, they pushed the Soochow warship forward at high speed. The fire-filled Soochow warships on the deck became the best shields and indestructible spears.
The worst series of collisions in history took place.
The Soochow warships in the rear couldn't avoid it, and watched as their own warships were engulfed in flames and collided head-on. At a correct angle, the Soochow warship in the middle fell with blood mold.
Under the two huge forces, the Soochow warship, which had been severely injured by the fire, was torn apart when it boarded, and in the midst of the firelight, the Xanadu Sailor warship crashed into it and continued to rush forward fiercely against another victim.
The one with a slight angle was lucky, and was hit by his own warship. Under the huge impact, the warship tilted almost at a thirty-degree angle, and none of the unprepared Dongwu sailors could still stand firmly, and one by one rolled down from the deck like a rolling gourd.
If you are unlucky, you can only reluctantly accept the fate of the capsizing of the warship.
Lu Xun's little face was tense, his expression was solemn, and his eyes stared ahead without blinking.
It's a lose-lose game.
Although the Soochow warship was caught off guard and suffered a lot of damage, the Xanadu Sailor was also not lightly damaged. Large ships such as the Qiankun Lou ship can be said to have taken advantage of their strength. The other warships are only medium-sized warships, and it is okay to hit a warship of the same type, but if it hits a ship, it is just the end of a strong crossbow.
Fortunately, the first few layouts induced a huge gap between the various warships of the Soochow Naval Division, and although the situation was urgent, it was not impossible.
Lu Yao secretly sweated for Lu Xun in his heart. Next, whether or not they can break through the Dongwu Naval Division, which has become much thinner, will be the key to this battle.
Rushing over, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly.
Unable to rush through, they are deeply encircled, and the defeat is decided.
"Ding, Zhou Yu unleashes a characteristic charge, and your own warship deals double damage when it collides with an enemy ship."
"Ding, Cheng Pu is good at launching characteristic surface warfare, and his ship's speed will be increased by fifteen percent."
"Ding, Jiang Qin is proficient in surface warfare, and the flexibility of his own warships has increased by 15 percent."
“……”
Suddenly, a barrage of system messages arrived. Lu Yao took the time to glance at it, and was suddenly surprised and delighted.
Zhou Yu and other famous generals of the navy made a move.
Suddenly blessed by the characteristics of Zhou Yu and other former famous generals of Eastern Wu, the originally somewhat weak Xanadu Sailor Battleship immediately seemed to be equipped with an electric small motor, and the speed was raised again.
A hundred warships were unstoppable and rushed strongly. Halfway through, nearly half of the ships were not lightly damaged, and they had to shrink their formations and stubbornly break through in a pyramid-shaped formation.
The thickness of the formation of thousands of warships is huge.
The more the Xanadu sailors rushed down, the greater the pressure they received, and the fewer and fewer warships responsible for the lead of the row as arrows appeared, and soon only the flagship and nine other Qiankun Lou ships were left to take the lead.
Lu Yao looked back, and the warships behind him were covered with bruises, especially the bow, which was burned by fire and collided one after another, which made this part tragically damaged. The deck was even more desolate, with smoke everywhere. At the same time as the collision and breakthrough, the rockets sent by the Soochow warships on both sides also dealt a heavy blow to their own side.
Fortunately, the rocket is not a dragon artillery, and the Xanadu sailors who train with the dragon cannon as an imaginary enemy are completely unfrightened and methodically extinguish fires and save people.
None of this was put on Lu Yao's heart.
The warship can be rebuilt when it is gone, and the casualties can be recruited and retrained, but the dragon cannons on the dozens of warships behind have been destroyed.
That's all he's got right now.
The Dragon Cannon can also continue to be built, but the process of building the gun body and gun mount is not simple and takes time. And what Xanadu City lacks most at the moment is time.
Lu Yao's heart was dripping blood.
Those destroyed dragon cannons were not destroyed in the hands of the Soochow sailors, but when the warships of the two sides collided. The heavy and bulky dragon cannon had a considerable displacement between the collisions of the two warships. The decks were just a little bit, inevitably colliding with each other.
Same volume, same weight, same material.
Lu Yao looked at the seriously deformed base and cannon body of the destroyed dragon cannons, and his mood was very complicated. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. I don't know if this wave is a loss or a gain.
On the other side, Zhou Tai understood the plan and immediately adjusted. The huge Dongwu sailors moved, raised their full sails, poked out their huge oars, and chased after them desperately, striving to continuously increase the thickness of the formation in front of the Xanadu sailors before they broke out of the encirclement, relying on absolute numerical superiority to win the final victory, and leaving the rebel generals such as Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong.
As soon as the Dongwu sailor moved, Lu Xun immediately understood the other party's intentions, but there was no way to break the situation.
This time, he was urgently dispatched by Lu Yao to Jiangdong to respond, and he had already brought all the Divine Fire Crows and Dragon Cannons in Xanadu City. However, the resource system has been open for too short a time, and the inventory is seriously insufficient. Only the initial wave of Divine Fire Flying Crow Offensive exhausted all the inventory. There weren't many dragon cannons fired after that, and they also fought a fine blow in the initial wave of offensives.
If only there were more dragon cannons...... Xiao Lu Xun was so anxious that he only hated that he didn't have the ability to reach the sky, and he took the Xanadu Sailor out of the predicament.
A Qiankun building ship finally reached the bottom limit, and there was no way to continue, so it reluctantly slowed down and merged into the scarred warships behind.
After another meal, another Qiankun building ship had no choice but to retreat.
Within an hour, six Qiankunlou ships had reached the bottom limit, and their hulls were so badly damaged that they could not hold on to another ramming, otherwise they would have capsized in the vast sea when they returned.
Only the flagship and the other three Qiankun building ships remained, and Lu Yao's heart rose to his throat.
The vast river can already be seen ahead, and the two wings of the Soochow warships have already chased after them. After all, moving forward with the Soochow warship, even with the blessing of various characteristics of famous generals such as Zhou Yu, it is also a lot of burden, and it cannot reach the highest speed.
At this time, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind Lu Yao.
"The water rises!"
